Definitions
- the invention relates to a photometric measuring system, comprising a holder provided with at least one storage chamber for holding a fluid to be measured, at least one light generator for generating a light beam to interact with the fluid in the storage chamber and at least one light detector for detecting, during operation, at least a portion of the light which has interacted with the fluid present in the storage chamber, in which system at least a portion of the inner walls of the storage chamber has been provided with a reflective surface so that at least a portion of the light which has entered the storage chamber will be reflected and detected by the detector.
- Such a photometric measuring system is known from DE-OS-2116381.
- an absorption measuring apparatus for gases is described, wherein a gas is supplied into a storage chamber via porous walls and the storage chamber is closed by a light generator for generating a light beam to interact with the gas in the storage chamber and a detector for detecting a portion of said light beam, reflected by a reflective surface, located on the inner wall of the storage chamber opposite to the generator and the detector.
- This apparatus is not appropriate to be used for a liquid. Further there is permanent connection between storage chamber, generator and detector, with the consequence that the application of the measuring system is rather limited.
- More appropriate photometric measuring systems are known and are used for performing photometric measurements on liquids, particularly on translucent liquids. More specifically this invention relates to a modified way of providing light to a sample and detecting its attenuation in the sample using a photometric measuring system employing a set of storage chambers arranged in a fixed matrix. Such storage chambers are also known as ‘cuvettes’.
- Photometric devices employing a set of cuvettes arranged in a fixed matrix are widespread.
- a generally used matrix arrangement is a microplate with a standard array of 8 ⁇ 12 wells made of an optically transparent material containing the liquid samples to be measured.
- microtiter plates are very cheap and can be disposed of after use.
- Light passes vertically through the wells and its attenuation is detected with a suitable detector. a variety of systems based on these principles is in use. Variations include the number of light detectors, with at one extreme, a single detector and light beam and a mechanism to move the plate such, that each well subsequently is placed in the beam, or alternatively, a fixed plate can be employed and the beam can be moved in a stepwise or continuous fashion from well to well.
- each well is placed in a separate beam and has a separate detector, thus allowing truly simultaneous measurements in all wells.
- Intermediate arrangements are employed where a group of wells, in most cases a row of 8 or 12 wells, are processed simultaneously by 8 or 12 beams and detectors.
- Such devices consist of a light source, a monochromator to select the desired wavelength of light, an optical system and a detector with associated electronics. Furthermore an often automated system to move the plate and/or beam detector arrangement to enable measurement of all wells separately, can be present.
- ELISA enzymelinked immuno sorbent assay
- the light Due to the arrangement of the well between the light generator and the light detector, the light has to pass the microtiter plate and the range of wavelengths that can be employed is limited by the optical properties of the plate material.
- these disposable low cost microtiter plates are made from a transparant polymer, generally polystyrene, limiting their use to wavelengths between about 330-800 nm. Special polymer materials can extend this range to the near ultraviolet from 250 nm onwards. For wavelengths below this wavelength non-disposable microtiter plates with quartz windows exist, such plates are extremely expensive, fragile and not intended for single use and disposal such as is the case with the polymer plates.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a photometric measuring system, which provides a solution for the above-referred to problem. Therefore, the photometric measuring system, according to the invention, is characterized in that, the holder is provided with a plurality of storage chambers and that in order to realise a photometric measurement which can be carried out with respect to a liquid in the storage chamber independent of the wavelength of the generated light beam, each storage chamber has an upper open end and the generator as well as the detector can be arranged at a predetermined distance above said upper open end, such that the light in the lightpath between the light generator and the detector does not meet any physical window.
- the light to be measured does not have to pass the material of the holder. Therefore, the storage chamber, according to the invention, can be made from low cost material, such as for example, polystyrene or polyethene.
- the incoming light beam enters a storage chamber through its open end, interferes with the liquid present in the storage chamber, reflects on the reflecting surface back to the open end and subsequently leaves the storage chamber so that it can be detected by the light detector.

- FIG. 7 shows a fourth embodiment of a photometric measuring system according to the invention.
- FIG. 8 shows a fifth embodiment of a photometric measuring system according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 with reference numeral 1 denotes a generally known photometric measuring system for measuring a liquid.
- the phrase ‘liquid’ also includes suspensions and dispersions.
- the system 1 comprises a holder 2 provided with a liquid storage chamber 4 .
- the holder and the liquid storage chamber are one and the same device.
- the system is provided with a light generator 6 for generating an incoming light beam 8 towards the liquid storage chamber 4 .
- the incoming light beam 8 enters the liquid storage chamber 4 through an open end 10 of the liquid storage chamber 4 .
- the liquid 12 to be measured is present in the liquid storage chamber 4 .
- the system is provided with a light detector 14 , which is positioned below the liquid storage chamber 4 .
- the liquid storage chamber 4 is provided with a light transparent bottom 16 . Consequently, the light beam 8 will interact with the liquid 12 and subsequently leave the storage chamber through the transparent bottom 16 .
- the light detector 14 will therefore detect the light beam 8 . Due to the attenuation of the light in the translucent liquid, information can be obtained about the liquid on the basis of the detected light beam.
- the wavelength to be employed can extend in a range, which is near to ultraviolet it is necessary that the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 4 is made from very special materials such as quartz. Such materials are, however, extremely expensive, fragile and not intended for single use and disposal.
- the invention provides a solution for these problems, wherein relatively cheap liquid storage chambers may be used without adversely effecting the quality of the measurement.
- FIG. 2 A possible embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 2 . All the figures features, which correspond with each other have been denoted by the same reference numeral.
- the light beam 8 generated by the light generator 6 , passes through a beam splitter 18 and subsequently enters the liquid storage chamber through the open upper end 10 of the chamber.
- the liquid storage chamber 4 is provided with a bottom 20 having a reflective surface. Therefore, the incoming light beam 8 is reflected back, such that a reflected outgoing light beam 22 is formed.
- the outgoing light beam 22 travels through the liquid 12 and leaves the liquid storage chamber 4 through its open upper end 10 .
- the outgoing light beam 22 travels subsequently towards the beam splitter 18 , where the outgoing beam 22 is reflected over an angle of 90° towards the light detector 14 . Due to this special arrangement the system operates without any physical window in the light path between the incoming light beam, liquid and outgoing light beam. Hence, it is no longer necessary to provide the liquid storage chamber with a very expensive transparent bottom 16 if it is required that the wavelength of the light is close to the ultraviolet spectrum. Instead the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 4 should have a reflective surface. A reflective surface can be obtained with very cheap and well-known materials.
- the incoming and outgoing light beams are directed vertically. This ensures that the incoming and outgoing light beams hit the liquid surface 24 in a direction which is perpendicular to this surface. Hence, the incoming and outgoing light beams will not be refracted at the transition from the liquid to the air and visa versa.
- a major advantage of the present invention arises from its very concept that the light beam has to pass twice through the liquid present in the liquid storage chamber, thus increasing the length of the light path and by consequence increasing the light attenuation as compared with a conventional device in which the light passes the liquid only once. This leads to a higher sensitivity and lower detection limit with the same sample volume.
- FIG. 3 shows an embodiment, wherein the use of a beam splitter 18 is no longer necessary.
- the light generator 6 and the light detector 14 are positioned adjacent to each other.
- the incoming light beam 8 is transmitted towards the liquid storage chamber 4 having an angle relative to the reflector's surface 20 of the liquid storage chamber which is almost but not exactly 90°.
- This means that the outgoing light beam 22 is angled to the incoming light beam 8 .
- the angle between the incoming light beam 8 and the outgoing light beam 22 is such that the outgoing light beam 22 falls on the light detector 14 .
- the advantage of the system according to FIG. 3 is that it is not necessary to use a beam splitter 18 . Thereby the quality of the measurement is further improved relative to the known systems.
- the reflective surface 20 of the liquid storage chamber 4 is flat. Such an embodiment is shown in FIG. 4 a. It is, however, also possible that the reflective surface 20 has such optical characteristics that the outgoing light beam 14 is collimated. This implies that it is also possible that the reflective surface of the storage chamber has such optical characteristics that the outgoing light beam is directed in a predetermined direction. In FIG. 4 b such a possible embodiment of the reflective surface is shown. The surface 20 , shown in FIG. 4 b, has a concave form. Such a shape will result in the outgoing light beam 22 to be collimated in a predetermined direction. FIG.
- FIG. 4 c shows an alternative storage chamber 4 having a flat bottom wall 20 with fresnel rings, wherein said fresnel rings form at least a portion of the reflective surface. Also the fresnel rings form a light focusing mirror with a focal length, matching the optical system and aiding light focusing on the light detector 14 .
- Another suitable shape of the bottom wall of the storage chamber is a flat bottom wall with an arrangement of cube corner prisms as shown in FIG. 4 d.
- a regular pattern of reflecting cube corner prisms facing upwards could have special advantages, since its auto-collimating properties would ease the adjustment of the light detector considerably.
- the optical properties of the material of the liquid storage chamber are irrelevant, many different types of polymer can be used.
- the special form of the bottom can easily be produced in conventional manufacturing processes, like injection moulding that can be applied to polymers.
- Reflective coatings applicable to polymer surfaces for the embodiment, shown for example in FIGS. 4 a and 4 b, are well-known in the art and can easily and economically be applied by vapor deposition in high vacuum or more preferably by (electro)plating processes. Coatings of nickel, chrome, silver and other metals can such be applied to a variety of polymers.
- the holder 2 is provided with a base plate 26 , incorporating a number of holes 28 . Each hole 28 forms a liquid storage chamber 4 .
- the holder is provided with a plurality of storage chambers arranged in a matrix.
- the system is further provided with means for moving the holder incorporating such a plurality of storage chambers 4 , relative to the light generator 6 and the light detector 14 .
- the system according to FIG. 7 is provided with a base plate 30 on top of which the holder 2 is positioned.
- An upstanding arm 32 is fixed to the base plate 30 .
- a second arm 34 is connected to the top end of the vertical arm 32 .
- the second arm 34 is directed parallel to the base plate 30 .
- a third arm 38 is movably connected to the second arm 34 .
- the third arm 38 is directed perpendicular to the second arm 34 and parallel to the base plate 30 .
- the system is provided with a motor connected to the second arm 34 and the third arm 38 , respectively, for moving the third arm 38 in a plane which is parallel to the base plate 30 , in a direction which is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the second arm 34 .
- the light generator 6 , the beam splitter 18 and the light detector 14 as shown in FIG. 2 are movably connected to the third arm 38 .
- Motor means 42 are provided to move the combination of light generator 6 , beam splitter 18 and the light detector 14 in a direction which is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the third arm 38 .
- the combination of the light generator 6 , beam splitter 18 and the light detector 14 can be moved in a plane, which is parallel to the base plate so as to enable successively measuring the liquids, present in the plurality of storage chambers 4 of the holder 2 .
- FIG. 8 shows a special embodiment of the holder shown in FIGS. 5-7.
- the holder 2 is provided with the base plate 30 , whereby the base plate incorporates a plurality of holes.
- the holes itself do not form the storage chambers.
- the storage chambers 4 are removably positioned in the holes 28 .
- the storage chambers 4 are provided with a reflective surface of the type discussed in accordance with the previous drawings.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1-8.
- the light generator 6 and the light detector 14 may be but need not be positioned on the same side of the storage chamber.
- Such variations and other obvious variations are all considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.
